Much of the laws and regulations governing the production and transportation of oil and gas in this region was developed long before the recent boom in production from the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations. Courts and regulators in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York have significantly changed oil and gas law in this region as they grapple with the issues of horizontal wells, hydraulic fracturing, pooling of leases into production units, the impact of post-production costs on royalties, the impact of increased production on interstate pipelines and many other issues.

Electricity generation in the United States is undergoing a significant transformation as utilities are shifting rapidly to reduce the carbon emissions of their generating portfolios. This transformation is driven to some extent by environmental regulations (including EPA’s Clean Power Plan) and utility procurement obligations such as renewable portfolio standards, but is also driven to a large extent by economic forces, as shale gas development has resulted in a plentiful and relatively cheap supply of natural gas and the costs of wind and solar generation continue to decline through improved technology and economies of scale, resulting in displacement of coal-fired generation.
